Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in El Dorado, Kansas, is dedicated to alleviating hunger by providing free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the state. We understand the urgent need for nutritious food, which is why we distribute essential items such as canned vegetables, fruits, juice, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, ensuring that families have access to a minimum of four and up to ten food options per shipment. Our program operates five to six times a year, partnering with local organizations to facilitate this vital food assistance. To receive help, clients are encouraged to apply within their home county, ensuring they have the resources needed to meet their basic nutritional needs with compassion and support.
